Hi
My husband has been experiencing pain in the shaft of his penis immediately following ejaculation. This has been going off and on for about 3 years. At first we thought it was a side effect of his taking effexor, however he has been off of that at least 2 years. The pain did subside for awhile, but now has come back in the last 6 or so months. Also he is unable to achieve a full erection. When he spoke to his doctor about it, the doctor did a prostate exam but that is it. Has anyone else ever encountered this? Could it be prostatitis? I am encouraging him to speak to his new doctor about it, but he is reluctant, due to shyness I think. My husband also has a hernia that he has never done anything about and I am wondering if some how the two could be related, perhaps with the pelvic muscles. He is 56 years old, a smoker, recreational drug user and drinker. I know, all these factors are against him. However, if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Of course he needs to give up all three of those previously mentioned items, but old bikers die hard. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on?
